Newspaper Page Text12 GEORGIA AN'D FLORIDA. THE NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Sensational Stories from the State Insane Asylum at MilledgeviUe—The Coming Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union—White IJCaps Out in Bartow County—A Blood Curdling Murder Record. GEORGIA. Worth superior court convenes at Isa bella on Monday, April 2S. It is rumored that the Baptist* of Val dosta will erect a SIO,OOO church building. Last Tuesday night twenty-one years ago the entire business portion of Madison was burned. Georgia and Florida birds will probably be pitted against each other in a ooeking main at Brunswick in May. The eighth annual convention of the Women’s Christian Temnernnce Union will be held in Rome May 6, 7 and 8. The wood working establishment of E. Hilton, at Hilton, was burned Thursday. The loss is $3,000, with no insurance. George Scott (colored) was killed by a falling scantling while at work at the bot tom of a well, near Macon,'Thursday. J. L. Davis of Hamilton was thrown from bis buggy on Monday last and pain fully hurt. The horse became frightened at a passing train. Anew poitoffico will in all probability be established near Ellis Chanel in Columbia county at an early day. It will bear the name of the chapel. In the lower part of Upson county, in Hootenville district, on (Saturday last, a difficulty occurred between two negroes, Dan Worthy and Jim Beall, which ended in the death of the latter by stabbing. Worthy is in jail. In conference on Sunday last the Baptists of Valdosta called to the pastorate uf their church Rev. Mr. Murray of Ohio, vice Rev. R. T. Goodrum, resigned. The church has not yet been advised, but it is thought Mr. Murray will accept the call. J. W. Thompson, a brakeman on the Southwestern road, was killed three miles from Macon Thursday night. He was knocked from his train by a bridge and cut in two by the wheelß. He was the son of W. W. Thompson, a well-known fruit man at Smithrille. Bynum Collins was killed by Michael Goode at Pine Log, near Adairsvitle, about a week ago. The two fought about a girl, and Collins was so badly Lenten In the head with a rock that death resulted a day or two later, though no bad effects were felt immediately a."ter the beating. There are two people in Atlanta, It is said, that are absolutely hairles3. Both wear wigs, and show no eye-brows, eye lashes or hair of any aort. In both cases this state of affairs was brought about by disease, and has been so long continued that both have despaired of Its ever being other wise. Looney Findley, a negro bov about 14 years old, fell out of a china berry tree at Carrollton last Saturday, and was badly hurt, his arm and shoulder being broken, and his face being badly cut up by limbs as he fell. He is in quite a critical condition, but it is thought he will recover. He had gone up the tree after a ball. The people of Macon are awaiting with great interest the result of the injunction brought by M. R, Rogers, W. A. Huff, and others to enjoin tho city of Macon from issuing $300,000 of bonds for sewerage, pav ing, packing, etc. The hearing will take place on Saturday, April 19, before Judge Miller. The issue to be decided is whether or not the issuance of the bonds will be legal. On last Tuesday night while Mr. Samuel Burns, of Cedar Creek, Bartow county, was at Canton on business, his hired hand, a negro named Wallace Bradley shot through the window of the bedroom of Mrs. Barns, and cursed her. White Caps subse quently searched for him, but he hail fled. At one place they visited they knock’d down the door ana fired off their pistols and rubbed switches in the face of the occu pants—two negro women known with un savory reputation—but no other damage is reported. On Wednesday last Hon. P. W. Davis, representative from Elbert county in the legislature, and a very prominent lawyer, was cowhided on the public square of El berton by James L. Harper, editor of the Gazette of that place. Shortly after the the affair twenty citizens of Elberton held a meeting, anti passed resolutions request ing Mr. Davis to resign his seat in the legis lature and leave their county. The cause of the difieulty, from the best information obtainable, is that Col. Davis made im proper advar.css to a lady, which Mr. Harper resented, hence the trouble. At Dauielsville Thursday Mike Freeman, who has heretofore served in the chain gang, was putin jail under charge of as mult with intent to murder. On Monday night Mike called at Jim Booth’s for his wife, who had taken refuge there to save herself from Mike’s brutal treatment while he was drunk. Ou dimanding that his wife get up and go home with him he was told by Mr. Booth she was not going. Thereupon Mike" who had armed himself with a double-bar relled shot gun, remarked that he reckoned she would, and fired into the house. Mr. Booth returned the fire, shooting Mike lii the tace, and a fight took place, in which mauls, guns, pistols, etc., were freely used. Sensational reports come from the state asylum for the insane at Milledgeville. They were laid before a meeting of the trustees at Macon a day or two ago. Some of the events alleged occurred several years ago. The most serious charg , however dated as recently as Dec. 28, 1889, and al leged that a certain idiotic girl, an inmate of four years’ standing, had given birth to a child. It was intimated that an employe was its father, and that the management of the asylum had caused tbe child to be buried at night, and enjoined secrecy upon every one iu order to keep the matter concealed from the board of trustees. Dr. Powell, superintendent of the institution, expresses the belief, however, that the infant’s father is a patient. The burial was rna ie at night in order to avoid alarming other patients. It also developed at the meeting that Supt. Humber resigned because lie thought that the superintendent was infringing on his rights iu purchasing supplies. This sup position was demonstrated to be erroneous, aDd the resignation, as already announced in the Morning News, was withdrawn. Storekeeper Rice having resigned, Hunter, a young unmarried man of Milledgeville. was elected his successor over several appli cants at a salary of SBOO. The storekeeper will have to sleep at the store. Rice re signed to accept a better position hi Macon. On motion of Trustee Wilcox. Tom DeSaus sure was put in charge of the entire me chanical department, subject onlv to orders from Superintendent Powell. Heretofore the engineer was also suoject to the stew ard’s orders. Wilcox’s motion was adopted unanimously. This practically makes the engineer an officer of the institution. On motion of Trustee Wilcox, Kngineer De- Baussure was directed to attend tho convention of the Americau Gas Light Association at Savannah in May. The trustees found the asylum in go and con dition, though they are anxious that s-mie needed improvements be inode in heating the buildings iu winter, and increasing the water supply. Plans are formulating that will give tee asylum 225,000,000 gallons of water every twenty-four hours. It is also aUtl , fy J “ n<l ira i-ove tho grounds, which work is badly needed. The are now about 1,560 inmates at the asvlum, over 500 ’ f are negroes, all for the most part m good health and well eared for. Sunt S,,.dutT rdtd a * doing his ,ull nnd FLORIDA.

The DeLand Record learnt that every room in the hotel at Coronado Beach is engaged tor the summer months. The Stanton mills at Braidentown are to be enlarged and rearranged. Work ha* already been commenced on the foundation for the new plant. Braidentown Journal: There is no longer A donbt about the genuineness of our phos phate deposits. Their extent is the only question yet to be settled. C. M. Barton of Jacksonville, formerly a member of the school of gunnery, also of Her Royal Highness Princ ss Louise’s dragoon guards, in the active militia in Canada, challenge* Maj. McGuire to a ring tilting match, tent pegging match and lemon cutting match, all at full gallop; a'so broad sword cotnbat.ail riding to lie strictly under the military rules and regulations of England, provided his friends in Jackson ville will back him in the money part, as he is not in a position to put up any great amount of money. Belleview Blade: C. P. Goodwin and C. H. O. Green purchased forty acres of land a few weeks since about three miles west from town and have repaired to their new possessions to reside. It is what was for merly known as the Foster place and Is located on a high hill. It is a fine piece of property, and wbat is better the whole forty is said to be underlaid with the richest phosphate. Since making the purchase these gentlemen have been hard at work making improvements. Several acres havo been set out In grapes. The state democratic executive commit tee of Florida met at Jacksonville Thursday. The following was adopted: “Resolved, That the state democratic executive com mittee confer with the congressional execu tive committee with a view of securing a full representation in a state convention to nominate a justice of the supreme court and transact such other business as may come before it. The two congressional commit tees are respectfully asked to hold the con gressional conventions on the same day and at places as convenient as practicable to each, and the chairman and secretary of this committee inform the chairman of con gressional committees of this resolution.” As the congre sional executive committee of the Second congressional district were In session also, they were invited to a confer ence, after which the state committee adjourned, subject to the call of the chair man. John F. Dunn, the phosphate king of Ocala, Hon. 11. T. Lybes, S. A. Jones and Capt. J. B. Walon have purchase 1 from the Tatnpa and Chicago company a tract of 160 acres of land at tho head ot Curlew creek. The tract includes an area of rich bone phosphate lying immediately beneath the surface. The deposit consists of rich nodu lar lumps of blaokisb hue imbedded in a matrix some two feet in depth, with sharks’ teeth of immense size and fragments of bone. Mr. Dunn had this deposit analyzed before purchasing and found that the nodules gave 85 per cent, of bone phosphate and the matrix itself 70 per cent, of the same. Thereupon he instructed his repre sentative to purchase immediately, and the negotiation was effected. It is the inten tion of tho purchasers to immediately oper ate these phosphate fields,and they will ship by whatever route can be most advantage ously employed. Tarpon Springs Truth: Several months ago we inserted upon the Tarpon Springs local page a displayed notice of “Opportu nities for Investment,” calling attention therein to the opportunity which existed for embarking capital iu the canning, the sponging and the fish busiue ,s with more than ordinary prospecti of success. We take pleasure in announcing tiiat two of these “opportunities” have fouud appli cants. The Anclote and Rock Island Sponge Company will commence operations this summer with a capital ot $50,000. Mr. Hamilton Disston is one of the large stockholders in tnis oompany. Great inter est is also felt at Dunedin iu the spougiug business, and a few gentlemen, among them the Messr*. Loucks and Mr. L. H. Malone, are arranging to fit out a large sloop for this purpose. Alias Morley anil Miss Babcock, two energetic young Chicago ladies, will engage in tho canning business at Tarpon Springs, aud work will begin by September at the latest. They will give special attention to guavas, and the crop of that interesting but malodorous ,ruit will henceforth find a ready market. GEORGIA. THRIFT. Montezuma wants a steam laundry. Suburban lots at Macon are bringing fine prices. The thousands of acres of river valley lands below Macon are to be put ou the market and the timber privileges sold to northern capitalists. The sale of the residence of W. S. Pavne at Macon to A. Gillian is reported. File residence is located on Orange street, and the consideration is said to be $15,009. Steps are being taken to organize a SIOO,OOO company to develop the Ocean Fond property near Macon. The Georgia Southern road is interested in the project The work of building tne plant of the Augusta glass factory will begin in a week or two. The structure itself is being de signed by Macmurphy & Storey, but it will be nece-sary to have experts prepare the plans for the furnaces. The drug firm of Herrman & Herrman of Eastman has been dissolved by mutual con sent, S. He r rman retiring. Dr. Herrmau and M. E Everitt, have formed a com par t nership and are doing business under the firm name of Herrman & Ereritt. Fifteen months ago a Columbus man sold a honse and lot on Rose Hill. Thursday he bought the same house again, givit-g SO9O more for It than he realized from its sale fifteen months ago. The gentleman says that he expects to sell the house again at a good profit. For the past three weeks a number of merchants and business men of Brunswick have been talking of organizing a stock company to establish a lighting system. They claim that another lighting company would cause corn potion, which would bring a cut in prices charged for lights, better lights, aud in mauv other ways benefit them. Whit Collier and his brother, George Collier, the parties who own the Indian Springs lease, have eutaged an Atlanta architect to draw plant for a $40,009 hotel, which they propwe erecting as soon as practicable. The house will contain 135 rooms, and must, according to their con tract, be capable of holding 300 guests. It will be out of question to get the building ready in tune for the accommodation of visitors this season. The me ,hinery for the uew cotton com press in Mouth Maoo i will cost $75 009 The new;compress will be the largest in Georgia. The press will be of the hydraulic pattern, with triple cylinders, and will hava a capacity for compressing 100 halo* hour. Tho immense force employed w.ll enable it to compress a bale into much smaller space thau can tie done in Georgia. It is said that the experiment will i e tried of compressing two bales together, where the bales are below the medium size. It is very probable that tho Pulaski county commissioners will decide to hava the iron bridge across the Oemulgee at Hawkinsvilie rai-ed instead of changed into n drawbridge. To raise it ten foe; will cost $5,000; to convert it into a drawbridge will cost about three times as much. Iu addition to the first cost of makiug the bridge a draw there would be the additional ex pense of keeping a man at the bridge all the time to attend to it. While it wiil cost $5,000 to raise the bridge, there will be no extra tax levy necessary, as that amount of money is already in the treasury.

The stock market was a little more active to day thnu during the same hours for many days, and showed more strength thau any previous time this week. The bears were again active and aggressive in the early trading, encouraged bv considerable London selling. Grangers were still the principal point of attack, and Rock Island, Burlington and Quincy aud St. Paul were tne leaders, both in point of activity and weak ness. Gould stocks, < a the contrary, were quite lirm, and Missouri Pacific showed great strength around 70, giving evidence of Inside buying. Pacific Mail was, in all probability, bought for election purposes, the election taking place next month. Lackawanna. Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, Western Uuionand Union Pacific were all firm. There was literally nothin; doing in the unlisted department. Toward the close there were rumors of negotiations be tween the Vanderbilt and Gould interest which would probably result in bringing Missouri Pa cific into the association, and the ban* stats i mont being more favorable than the gen ral expectation, there was liberal covering of shorts j in the last half hour, whico had the effect of : rapidly advancing prices ail over the list, and as a rule early tosses were entirely wiped out. j Tennessee Coal was still weak and declined 2 per cent., while Colorado Coal displayed marked strength, especially in the last hour, when it rose Hi per cent. The street regards the chances or passage of some measure on the sil ver question whicn will materially aid in mak ing money easier as improved, and surprise at j the small decrease in the bank reserves was a ' material factor iu the final rally. To-day’s | market dually closed quiet but firm and gcner i ally at insignificant chaoges from last evening's figures.

Trading was active in all future:, and outside business, julglng from the way orders came pouring in. were more numerous than any day since the board discontinued the sending out of quota tions. The country is evidently operating, and there is enough business from this source to make itself felt on the market. The course of prices was very irregular, and fluctuations were rapid and frequent. The opening of wheat was very unsettled, aud priees varied c in the crowd, ruling lower in some instances than the closing yesterday. From inside prices May ad vanced 7J4c, June 5 14 c, and July 1 -'<e, ruled easier and closed 3>4c higher for May ,94c higher for June, and Xc higher than the closing on ’change yesterday Tee outside dealings of to day represaut an advance of 14Vjc for May and Gqc for July above the lowest point, and nearly alt of this advance since quotations ware cut off. Shorts again covered freely, and parties who had sold yesterday wero buying to-dav. Crop news continues to come in bad, and from some sources the worst of their kind yet re ceived. The European market advices were favorable, quoting a better demand and higher prices. In corn another large day's business was transacted, which was active and rather unsettled most of the session. The feeling on the whole was firm, the market sympathizing with the advance in wheat and pork. There wero no new outside features presented, and fluctuations were governel largely by local in fluences, the chief of which being mentioned above. The market opened strong with other articles, and there was fair buying, but the advance did not hold well, and the market re acted recovered, ruled strong, and closed 94c higher than yesterday. In oats there was a fair business transacted, but an unsettled feeling prevailed, and price etianges were con fined to ran fie. The opemng was steady, but the strength in wheat and corn had a stimulating effect on values, and prices ad vanced VjikOio later. Buyers failed to take hold. An easier feeling developed, and prices yielded slightly to fair offerings, but the market developed strength, and prices advanced )4@ %c, and close'! at a net gain of H&H-- Toe Daily T'ade Su'letin says: “in bog products considerable excitement was exhibited iu the market to-day, attended with wild aud unprece dented fluctuations in prices for mess port. The surprise of the whole affair is the moderate amount of trading in ail leading speculative articles, scarcely exceeding that of the previous day. There was nothing developed to really account for the sadden advance in prices, in one instance, where the market went from un der the control of anyone iu particular, every body got excited, and some were "rattled ’ and were anxious to provide for outstanding con tracts, the small ainouut of property offered for sale creating very brisk competition, ani re sulting in the usual and rapid advance. It has been evident tuat outside parties huve been buying mess pork freely within the last two or three days, and that foreign trades have been liberal. It was hinted that tne first advance of 25c was made to feel the market to ascertain if property could be forced out and develop the extent of the line of shorts. When this appre ciation was gained, the market quickly got beyond control of those who were searching for kuowie Igo of the situation, and iu twenty minut s prices advanced $3 70 for May and $ 1 for June, unprecedented in the history of the trade iu mess pork at Ccicago. On the up ward scale only moderate trade was reported at outside figures; the market weakened, aud gradually settled back again with light trading to the close, with a greater portion of the ad vance lost. While mess pork attracted most at tention. th-re wus condderablo interest mani fested in lord and short rib side.i. and tney shared m the advance to some extent, but de clining again during the middle of the session.
